Factors That Auger Well

Genpact is a prominent name in the BPO services market based on domain expertise in consulting services and digital and business analytics. The company is a leading provider of industry-specific solutions for the user experience, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), aftermarket services support, order and supply chain management, data engineering, direct procurement and logistics services, digital content management and risk management, industrial asset optimization and engineering services.

AI presents a substantial growth opportunity for Genpact. Gen AI serves as a driver for foundation work as the company assists businesses to develop a broad data and system architecture. The company’s Digital Smart Enterprise Processes (Digital SEPs) is a patented approach to improve the clients’ business processes’ performance. Digital SEPs reduce inefficiency and enhance the quality of processes using AI, advanced domain-specific digital technologies, Lean Six Sigma methodologies and experience-centric principles.

Such a shareholder-friendly strategy indicates the company’s commitment to create value for shareholders, thereby improving its bottom line.

Headwinds

Genpact also faces significant client concentration in terms of industries. In 2023, more than 25% of Genpact’s revenues were derived from clients in the financial services and insurance industries. Reliance on a particular industry does not bode well.

The outsourcing industry relies on foreign talent heavily and is labor intensive. Increasing costs of talent due to competition could curb the industry’s growth. However, Genpact is likely to be affected due to these headwinds.
